  1. DR PROMILA VERMA PROFESSOR • Faculty of Dental Sciences,KGMU • Lucknow, India.

  2. “ Most inventions are a series of improvements to an idea or concept and evolve over time"

  3. Cavities in teeth have been filled since earliest times with a variety of materials, including stone chips, turpentine resin (an organic plant substance), gum, and metals.

  4. Giovanni d'Arcoli recommendedgold-leaf (gold beaten into very thin sheets) fillings in 1484. • The renowned French physician AmbroiseParé(1510-1590) used lead or cork to fill teeth.

  5. Gold leaf as a filling became popular in the United States in the early nineteenth century. Marcus Bull of Hartford, Connecticut, began producing beaten gold for dental use in 1812.

  6. In 1853 sponge gold was introduced in the United States and England to replace gold leaf. • This was followed by the cohesive, or adhesive, gold introduced by American dentist Robert A. Arthur in 1855.

  7. GOLD (Au) Gold, the noblest of metals, has been used by man for more than 5000 years Gold has derived its name from the old english Anglo-Saxon word ‘Geolo’ meaning YELLOW. The symbol origin is from the latin word ‘Aurum’ meaning “Glowing Dawn”

  8. DFG was practiced for about 100 years regularly and successfully. • With advent of materials like composites and other tooth coloured materials, its use started declining since 1980’s.

  9. At the turn of century this remarkable restoration was nearing extinction. • It is upto a select few enthusiasts and perfectionists to make an effort to start its revival.

  10. One of the first metals used by man, it is recognized as the most noble of metals • From the earliest historic records down through the ages, has played a prominent part in the development of our present knowledge of metallurgy. Period 6 Group 11

  11. Several collodial forms of gold have been introduced for its therapeutic value in skin rejuvenation, malignant diseases, rheumatoid arthritis etc.

  12. PURITY of GOLD The karat system (k) specifies the gold content of an alloy based on parts of gold per 24 parts of the alloy. Thus 24 karat indicates pure gold. Fineness is the unit that describes the gold content in noble metal alloys by the number of parts of gold in each 1000 parts of alloy. Pure gold has fineness of 1000 .

  13. MALLEABILITY DUCTILITY One ounce can be drawn into 80 km(50 mile) of thin gold wire 15 micron diameter) to make electrical contacts • In annealed state it can be hammered cold into a transluscent wafer of 0.000013 cm thick. • One ounce of gold can be beaten into a sheet covering over 9 sq mtsand 0.000018 cm thick.

  14. COHESIVENESS WELDABILITY In cold state it can be welded in cold state whereas most other metals must be heated for welding to take place. • Pure gold is cohesive in nature. By this property it can be welded by just putting pressure. Cohesiveness depends upon purity and surface annealing.

  15. TYPES OF DFG: FOIL Sheets: Manufactured by beating pure gold into thin sheets. The gold foil is cut into 4 × 4 inch (10 × 10 cm) sheets and sold in books of sheets, separated by pages of thin paper. Pellets:rolled from 132-inch, 143-inch, 164-inch, or 1128-inch sections cut from a No. 4 sheet of foil.

  16. POWDERED GOLD • Powdered gold is made by a combination of chemical precipitation and atomization, with an average particle size of 15 mm • The atomized particles are mixed together in wax, cut into pieces, and wrapped in No. 4 or No. 3 foil

  17. Sheets are manufactured by a process called “gold beating” or “rolling”. All light weight sheets are formed by beating and heavy weight sheets by rolling. The gold foil is cut into 4 × 4 inch (10 × 10 cm) The sheet of foil that weighs 4 g is termed No. 4 foil; 3 g is termed No. 3 foil; 2 g is termed No. 2 foil.

  18. CASE SELECTION • INDICATIONS • Foil is best adapted to teeth in which decay has just begun, incipient decay specially in the pits and fissures. • Pits on the labial and buccal surfaces of teeth • For repairing margins of castings

  19. CONTRAINDICATIONS • High caries Index • Young patients • Poor periodontal conditions • Limited accessibility • Handicapped patients • Large cavities • Aesthetics.

  20. ARMAMENTARIUM FOR CAVITY PREPARATION

  21. Burs • For Outline form and initial depth: Pear shaped No. 330 or 329 bur • For Retentive undercuts: No. 33 ½ inverted cone bur or 612-(90)-212-9 angle-former chisel

  22. STEPS OF CAVITY PREPARATION

  23. OUTLINE FORM The external walls of the preparation are parallel to each other. The pulpal wall is of uniform depth, parallel with the plane of the surface treated, and established at 0.5 mm into dentin. Small undercuts to provide convenience form in beginning the compaction of gold

  24. Resistance form Flat pulpal floors perpendicular to the occlusal forces. Walls must be smooth and flat. Enamel walls must be supported by sound dentin.

  25. Retention form Parallel or slight occlusal convergence of the facial & lingual walls. Sharp internal line angles resist the movement of the restoration.

  26. CAVOSURFACE BEVEL • A partial bevel is placed to: create a 30- to 40-degree metal margin for ease in finishing the gold and to remove remaining rough enamel. The bevel is not greater than 0.2 mm in width Given with No. 8862 bur.

  27. Starting Points Sharp internal line angles and retentive points at point angles angles in dentin serve as convenient starting points for compacting of direct gold restoration. Given with 33 1/2 inverted cone bur.

  28. MANIPULATION OF GOLD FOIL

  29. DEGASSING For successful welding to occur during restoration, the gold must be in a cohesive state before compaction. Because gold attracts gases that render it non-cohesive, such gases must be removed from the surface of the gold before dental compaction

  30. Degassing

  31. DEGASSING UNDERHEATING OVERHEATING Oversintering and possibly contamination from tray, instruments or flame. Incomplete cohesion Embrittlement Poor compaction Incomplete cohesion. Pitting and flaking of the surface.

  32. ISOLATION The operating field should be well isolated with the help of rubber dam.

  33. COMPACTION OF GOLD FOIL

  34. Condensors- Automatic Spring Loaded

  35. Starting the Restoration • The round condensors are used to condense foil in the starting retention points. • They come in 0.4 to 0.55 mm in diameter. • The smaller the nib face size (i.e., area), the greater the pounds per square inch delivered (given a constant malleting force) Round nibs

  36. The line of direction of compaction should bisect the line angle and trisect the point angle. • First layer of foil anchored into the retention point in the mesiobuccal point angle.

  37. CONDENSATION FORCE • Exert 15lb/sq inch of force on the condenser nib less force is needed for small condenser nibs than for larger ones. • Force of condensation must be at 45° to cavity walls and floors

  38. TIE FORMATION Two opposite starting points are filled with gold to form a tie which acts as a foundation for the restoration

  39. STEPPING • Each succeeding step of the condenser overlaps (by half) the previous one as the condenser is moved toward the periphery • Some compaction also occurs by lateral movement of the gold against surrounding preparation wall.

  40. STEPPING • The most efficient compaction occurs directly under the nib face. • Carried out with a round condensor nib.

  41. BANKING • This is accomplished by covering each wall from its floor or axial wall to the cavosurface margin with the direct gold material. • The parallelogram condensoris used for wedging and building gold against walls of cavities.

  42. Each wall is built from its floor or axial wall to cavosurface margin. "Banking" should be performed simultaneously on the surrounding walls of the preparation.

  43. SHOULDER FORMATION Sometimes, to complete a build-up, it is necessary to connect two opposing walls with the direct gold material. These three steps should completely fill up the cavity preparation, but the build-up should continue until the preparation is overfilled

  44. PAVING OR LAMINATING • Foot condensorsare used for “after -condensation” • A controlled amount of excess is built up to allow normal contour. • Every part of cavosurface should be covered with gold.

  45. BURNISHING • Done with round and Beaver tail burnisher. Enhance surface hardening. Adapt the material more to the margins. Eliminates voids from the surface and margin.

  46. FINISHING & POLISHING

  47. FINISHING • The surface is contoured by removing excess material from margins with help of carvers or stones. • Finishing done with disks and stones with light pressure.

  48. POLISHING • With help of gold polishing tips. • Silica, pumice or metallic oxide compounds are used as polishing agents.
